# the libtool manual to understand the meaning of the fields. This is
# a separate file so that version updates don't involve re-running
# automake.
+#
+# Here are a set of rules to help you update your library version
+# information:
+#
+# 1. Start with version information of `0:0:0' for each libtool library.
+#
+# 2. Update the version information only immediately before a public
+# release of your software. More frequent updates are unnecessary,
+# and only guarantee that the current interface number gets larger
+# faster.
+#
+# 3. If the library source code has changed at all since the last
+# update, then increment revision (`c:r:a' becomes `c:r+1:a').
+#
+# 4. If any interfaces have been added, removed, or changed since the
+# last update, increment current, and set revision to 0.
+#
+# 5. If any interfaces have been added since the last public release,
+# then increment age.
+#
+# 6. If any interfaces have been removed since the last public
+# release, then set age to 0.
